website.

Resources:

Handout about accessing announcements section on faculty web page

http://www.renweb.com/robohelp/sg1116dgh/renweb.htm (Follow these links once on

the help page: Faculty > Communications > Announcements)

Introduction:

1. Discuss what will be covered today. Discuss the following questions: What items do you

want posted on the website? What do you want parents to have access to on your class

site?

2. Most of this information was covered in the survey that was completed before the

training but it allows them to discuss what they want out of this training and may bring

up other concerns not thought of during the completion of the survey.

3. Explain that we are going to start with adding announcements to classroom sites and that

there are two different types of announcements that can be placed on the site. One type of

announcements are specific to a particular class. For example on Thursday you will need

to bring an apple for science class. This announcement would go on the science class

page. The second type of announcement is a general announcement that applies to your

homeroom class. This would include an announcement about field trip forms, or hot

lunch forms are due today or tomorrow is red day.

Content:

1. Please have the announcement examples out that you were supposed to have brought

with you to this training.

2. Login to RenWeb and access the faculty web. Once the faculty web has been accessed,

follow the directions on Handout 2A to access the web configuration tab. This is the tab

we will continually come back to throughout the training.

Objectives:

Teachers will be able to explain the difference between a Resource and a Web Document.

Teachers will be able to navigate to the Faculty Web to add Resources or Web

Documents to their class website.

Teachers will be able to add Resources or Web Documents to individual classes or to all

Materials:

Laptop

Documents that have been previously saved as a PDF that will be added to the

classroom site.

Resources:

Handout about accessing Resources and Web Documents section on the faculty web

page.

http://www.renweb.com/robohelp/sg1116dgh/renweb.htm (Follow these links once on

the help page: Faculty > Communications > Resources)

http://www.renweb.com/robohelp/sg1116dgh/renweb.htm (Follow these links once on

the help page: Faculty > Communications > Web Documents)

Introduction:

1. What is the difference between a Resource and a Web Document? Discussion will be

had that a resource is a website that you would like the class to go to practice skills or to

learn about a topic being covered in class. A web document is a PDF, Word, Excel,

PowerPoint, etc. that you have created on your computer and want it made available to

your students.

Content:

1. Adding a resource link will be looked at first. At this time none of the teachers have links

that they want made available to their class. We will show how it is done with a generic

link to a math website. Once they have a link they want to add they can follow the

handout directions and seek out help if needed.

2. Give out Handout 4A which will cover the steps for adding a resource to the class

website.

3. Teachers will return to the Faculty Web homepage to access the Resource tab under the

Web Configuration. This is the same start as in Lesson 2 and 3.

4. Select the class that we would like the link associated with. Since we are going to

practice with a math link, please select your math class.

RenWeb Training – Lesson 4

22

5. In the Resource Window the first box is “Sort Order.” Since this is the first link we are

adding, there is no sort order. As you add more links to the list you can place them in a

specific order by placing a number in the “Sort Order” box.

6. In the description box you will write a brief statement about the website that we are

linking to. In this case let’s put, “A math site to help students work on their math skills.”

7. In the URL box we are going to put the website: http://www.aplusmath.com/.

8. Since this site is only dealing with the subject of math we will not check the global box.

If the website covered more than one subject you can check the global box and it will

show up for every class the teacher teaches.

9. Be sure to click save and then test the link just to be sure the URL is correct.

10. To see how it will look to the parents, click on the Parent Web and click on the resource

tab. See Handout 6A for more detailed directions On the Parent’s Web view.

11. After the resource has been entered, web documents will now be looked at and added to

the class site. Every teacher should have brought at least two documents to load to their

site. One should be their class newsletter.

12. Return back to the Faculty Web homepage and click on Web Configuration and then

Web Documents.

13. We will first add your class newsletter and then have each teacher upload a different

document on their own. Handout 4B is a step-by-step guide to what completed in the

training class.

14. Since the newsletter is going to be uploaded to the class site, everyone should select their

homeroom class.

15. Near the bottom of the window, click on the button that says “Add New Document.”

Handout 4C will show screenshots for uploading a new document to the site.

16. Browse your computer for the specific document to be uploaded. Click Open and then

Submit. A successfully uploaded message will appear. Once this message comes up,

close out of the browse window.

17. Double Click on the newly uploaded document.

18. Add a caption, a begin date and an end date for this document.

19. Click Save and then Preview to see the uploaded document.

As teachers are putting the resource up on the site, walk around the room to see that steps

are being followed.

As teachers are putting the web document up on the site, walk around the room to see that
